Wordpress or Blogger - Which one is best for search engine optimisation
Hi Mike, im considering setting up a free blog. Can you tell me if its better to use a Blogger blog or a Wordpress blog, from an search engine optimisation point of view.
Regards
Steve.
Hi Steve, thanks for your question.
I myself use Blogger and Wordpress. There is an seo plugin available for Wordpress blogs that automatically optimizes your titles for search engines. Generates META tags automatically, and avoids the typical duplicate content found on Wordpress blogs, which Google can penalize sites for.
It is also fully editable, and compatable with many other plugins like Auto Meta, Ultimate Tag Warrior and others. So from the point of view of setting up your blog to be search engine friendly, then Wordpress is best, as Blogger does not have a similar plugin, yet.
You can download the plugin here http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/all-in-one-seo-pack.zip
Blogger does not have the flexibility that Wordpress has, but I think Blogger is easier to use for beginners.
I seem to get better search results with Blogger blogs. That may have something to do with the fact that Google runs Blogger, or it may just be coincidence.
Content has a lot to do with search engine results, so at the end of the day that is what counts ultimately, whether you have a Blogger blog or a Wordpress blog.
I hope this answers your question Steve, please let me know if you need more help.

I love this post. You see, a friend was arguing with me on YM telling me many good things about WordPress compared to Blogger. Now I've entertained to the idea that I've to migrate to WordPress pretty soon.
Might be coming here again to learn more about WordPress.
See you around.
Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.
